After a long process of painstakingly detailed revision, Frutiger and the design staff at Linotype completed this large joint project in 1997. Linotype Univers is a completely reworked version of the original Univers typeface family designed by Adrian Frutiger in 1957. Complete your designs with these perfect pairings: Dante™, Joanna® Nova, Kairos™, Menhart™, Soho® and ITC New Veljovic®. It was Akira’s ability to bring his own finesse and ideas for expansion into the project while remaining true to Frutiger’s original intent, that makes this not just a modern typeface, but one ahead of its time.
Akira Kobayashi worked alongside Avenir’s esteemed creator Adrian Frutiger to bring Avenir Next Pro to life. Overall, the family’s design is clean, straightforward and works brilliantly for blocks of copy and headlines alike. In addition to the standard styles ranging from UltraLight to Heavy, this 32-font collection offers condensed faces that rival any other sans on the market in on and off-screen readability at any size alongside heavy weights that would make excellent display faces in their own right and have the ability to pair well with so many contemporary serif body types.
This family is not only an update though, in fact it is the expansion of the original concept that takes the Avenir Next design to the next level. Avenir Next Pro is a new take on a classic face-it’s the result of a project whose goal was to take a beautifully designed sans and update it so that its technical standards surpass the status quo, leaving us with a truly superior sans family.
